This includes ...
-
How to choose a course

How to apply
-
Key dates and deadlines

... and more.
We all know that going to university is a big life changing event. As parents* you provide crucial stability at a time when it can be overwhelming. So even if it doesn't always seem like it, your help at this point in their lives is essential.
The emotional back up and support you give really can help them adjust more smoothly to university life. But we know this change in their lives is sometimes (often!) hard for everyone involved, so we're here with information to prepare you both as much as possible.
Parents and Carers Newsletter
We also offer a Parents and Carers newsletter, which will give you the inside track on what you and your child need to know when applying to Abertay University.

*While we refer to parents here, this guide is for parents, guardians, carers and any supportive adults who want to help.
